Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harrington to Star in SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D; First Official Image Released

If you thought that Silent Hill tanking at the box office would be an impediment to a sequel, you would be exercising sound common sense, but you would also be wrong. Shooting Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, began today in Toronto with Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane) in the director’s chair. Adelaide Clements and Kit Harrington will star in the sequel that’s based on the popular video game of the same name. Here’s the synopsis:

For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.

Hit the jump for the full press release as well as the first image from the film. Presumably, Silent Hill: Revelations will be released in theatres, although I think it would be cool to start seeing direct-to-3D-Blu-ray releases.

Hadida said: “We are all excited to have the Silent Hill team reunited in Toronto. With Michael at the helm, we will be building on the first film and taking Silent Hill into new territory with an exciting storyline and visuals that should grab both new audiences and fans of the Silent Hill franchise.”

Carmody added:“Adelaide is breaking out of the indie world with commercial features such as X-Men and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road. She and Kit are emerging young talent and their chemistry and dynamics make them a brilliant addition to the Silent Hill team.”

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is based on the acclaimed survival horror videogame franchise by KONAMI and is the sequel to Hadida and Carmody’s earlier Silent Hill directed by Christophe Gans. For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.
